Prefix Tag
by CursedBee21
With Prefix Tag installed, each player on a Forge 1.20.1 server holds two independent ranks, and both appear ahead of the name in chat and over the head.
What it does
Prefix Tag adds a dual tier system to a Minecraft server. A player is given a Roleplay tier and a PvP tier, each chosen from a configurable count of between 2 and 10 tiers, set independently for the two systems. The default labels run from R1 to R5 for Roleplay and from P1 to P5 for PvP, so a player may display something like R2|P3. The combined prefix is always shown beside the name in chat, in the nametag above the head, and in the world.
Each tier can carry its own color, and admins can set a custom color for a player's name. The palette includes shades such as gold, gray, aqua, red, yellow and white. Admins can reassign, reset, recolor or clear a player's tiers and custom name with straightforward commands, and players can swap their username for a custom display name.
On first launch the mod creates a config file in the world's serverconfig folder, where tier counts, labels and colors can be adjusted. The mod is free to include in a modpack and is released under the MIT License. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the latest is 1.5.3, released on 2026-07-13.
